On combining our over 40 vibrational bands for the $A ^{1}\Sigma^{+}_{n}-X^{1}\Sigma^{+}_{g}$ system of $^{6}Li_{2}$ and $^{6,7}Li_{2}$ sub-Doppler polarization spectrum with literature data from the Fourier transform spectrum of this system for $^{7}Li_{2},^{a}$ we have determined a new set of Le Roy - type molecular $constants,^{b}$ which include mass-reduced Dunham constants and Born-Oppenheimer and JWKB breakdown (BOB) correction terms, describing these two electronic states of all three isotopomers. The preliminary results indicate that the BOB corrections are not significant for the $X^{1}\Sigma^{+}_{g}$ state, but are significant for $A^{1}\Sigma^{+}_{u}$ state.
